Felt Like Home

A beautiful home in an amazing community. It was a perfect house for our family Christmas gathering. The kitchen is large enough for multiple people to gather and share in meal preparation. The bedrooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. It would be helpful to have more kitchen items such as dinner plates and utensils.

Family vacation 2022

What a beautiful home! Tastefully decorated and so spacious. The house had everything we needed and more than we expected. We enjoyed everything from tennis, pools, restaurants, bicycle rides, and all the water activities-paddle boards, kayaks, and even did a boat excursion including tubing and Daufuskie island! It was a memorable trip.

Family vacay

The house is gorgeous and very well maintained. It’s right next to the tennis courts so super convenient for tennis players. It’s a bit of a walk to the pool and “downtown”. The main complaint for us was the actual resort, bikes were sold out which made getting around difficult. We did not know we had to pre-book. Everywhere we went we were asked if we were owners or “just” VRBO renters. To a point where although we technically had access to the pool we did not feel very welcome. The lady at the outfitters was particularly pesky - so we just walked. It’s disappointing as the development is gorgeous but clearly not welcoming to renters. We communicated with the stables a few times before we arrived so we just headed there to see if we could find someone to talk to - big mistake. We were “caught” outside the gate and told in no uncertain terms we were not welcome. For the price we paid we would expect they would welcome visitors. No fault of the house or owners who were gracious and accommodating and beyond helpful. The people at the facilities however - definitely not.

Lovely home base in Palmetto Bluff!!!

This property is exactly as pictured and described. It sits in a central but quiet part of Palmetto Bluff resort and is perfectly located for those interested in racquet sports. Our family was super comfortable and happy during our stay. Being provided amenities such as shampoo, trash bags, toilet paper, etc. was a really nice touch and spared waste from one group of guests to the next. Highly recommend this house and its owners!!!

A Gem in Palmetto Bluff

Hard to summarize how wonderful this home is. Owners were incredibly responsive and welcoming. The location is second to none and it felt like walking into a home right out of Southern Living magazine. I genuinely hope we return as this is as good as it gets!!!

Great Family Vacation

The home was lovely and a very comfortable spot for our family to enjoy the holidays. We took advantage of the area but also enjoyed our downtime in the home. We were sad to leave at the end of our stay.

14 Westerwald Palmetto Bluff-wonderful

14 Westerwald was the perfect house for our group of friends. We stayed for my son’s wedding weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the grill, the porches and the fire pit during our downtime. The kitchen was well appointed with the necessities, the beds were so very comfy and the location was close enough to all of the resort amenities. The only one little thing I would improve upon was that the parking was closer or maybe provide a cart for unloading. It had been raining when we arrived and unloading was a bit tricky. We did rent a golf cart and loading was much easier. It was the perfect house for our group. I highly recommend it and would consider renting it again.
